70 blood-splattered hostages are freed from the clutches of ISIS by US special forces in Iraq

Dramatic footage has emerged which seems to show the join Delta Force and Kurdish peshmerga raid on an ISIS compound in northern Iraq (left and right) during which Master Sgt Joseph Wheeler (inset) was shot dead. The video, shot from the helmet camera of one of the soldiers, shows a group of around eight men moving room to room through a compound which has a large ISIS flag hanging on the wall. The group appears to be a mix of American soliders and Kurdish troops, as they can be heard talking in both English and Arabic. While gunfire can be heard during the footage, the moment where Wheeler is hit is not shown.
